流星npm安装font-awesome，找不到模块'fontawesome'“

Question

I am using meteor 1.4.1.1 with NPM support. I installed the npm "font-awesome" package and getting the error on the console "Uncaught Error: Cannot find module 'fontawesome'". I installed it with

meteor npm install --save font-awesome

The package seems to be installed correctly, folder inside of node_modules is created.

I imported the package in client/main.js with import fontawesome from 'font-awesome';

Sadly no icons are showing up, when i console.log(fontawesome); i get the above mentioned error back.

Thanks in advance, mario

There are different Font Awesome packages with almost the same name:

• font-awesome
• fontawesome

The first seems to be pretty useless for use in Node, or as a module, since it doesn't provide a main entry in its package.json .

Judging by your expectations ( "no icons are showing up" ), I think you want to install the second package (without the hyphen in the name), which shows the following for me:

$ node -pe 'require("fontawesome")'
{ [Function]
  glass: '�',
  music: '�',
  search: '�',
  envelopeO: '�',
